A court here on Thursday (June 19, 2025) denied activist Gautam Navlakha, an accused in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case, the permission to live in Delhi.
Chakor Bhaviskar, special judge for National Investigation Agency (NIA) cases, rejected the plea.
"Granting permission to the accused to travel beyond the jurisdiction of the court is a different thing and allowing him to reside permanently beyond the jurisdiction of the court is an entirely different thing," the court said.

The Bombay High Court, while setting his bail conditions, had not granted such liberty to Navlakha, the judge noted, adding, "this unnecessary application deserves to be rejected".
